You’re speaking to me, Anna! Have had things bouncing around my brain for years but fear of not being interesting enough, qualified or even relevant kept me for even taking the first step (or word I should say 😂)

I like your “out there/right here” definitely going to start pushing through and take my advice I’m always giving to others!

It’s so much easier to give other people advice than it is to take the same advice on board for ourselves. I hope I’ve given you the little shove you needed 🙃

Absolutely! Turning that self doubt into FOMO for myself, productive gaslighting I guess 😂

Super empowering, Anna! I feel, particularly as women, we doubt ourselves and want to be *absolutely certain* we can fulfil something to 100% before we start, but that just isn't realistic. Also love the Out There / Right Here visual - going to take that one with me.

We do doubt ourselves don't we! I don't know if that ever fully goes away? But it's about pushing through, and quietening it over time.

Really good advice, thank you for sharing it.

Many people are afraid of failure, false hope or disappointment; so they never try anything new.

But in the end, not trying is just guaranteed failure.

I love this Anna, thank you. I started ‘putting myself out there’ early in the year then shat myself for 6 months (😂🫠) and am just starting again. This is so helpful. Thank you 🙏🏼
